HiI'm writing and wondering if this is normal that when I run the code to setup the ethernet shield that it takes a minute to execute? I timed it and one minutes pases until the "connected and ip" shows up on serial monitor plus ledYell is on while ethernet is waiting too.

ZoomkatI'm a dumb ass, Your code took a minute to fail also. I didn't have a ethernet cable plugged in since I was using static ip, I didn't think it mattered. With a ethernet cable your code and mine works in 5 seconds. Thanks for the test code and the time you took to reply to me I appreciate it!Thank youDon
